The man accused of tackling Dave Chappelle onstage at the Hollywood Bowl is weighing an offer from prosecutors in his misdemeanor case and has made no claim of mental incompetency, Rolling Stone<\/em> has learned.<\/p>\n

Isaiah Lee, 23, appeared in custody at a Los Angeles courthouse Thursday, still wearing a cast on his right arm. He waved to a judge, saying, \u201cHello, your honor,\u201d and agreed to a two-month delay of the probable cause hearing in his separate attempted murder case involving claims he stabbed a roommate at a transitional housing complex on Dec. 2.<\/p>\n

Minutes later at a subsequent hearing in a different courtroom, Lee’s public defender on the Chappelle case, Chelsea Padilla, asked for a similar delay. She said her office di lei wanted “to see if there’s a disposition in the felony matter which would potentially resolve (this case) as well.” When Deputy City Attorney Giselle Fernandez asked if Padilla planned to declare doubt as to Lee’s mental competency di lei, the public defender replied, “Not at this time.”<\/p>\n

“An offer has been extended by the City Attorney’s Office, but it hasn’t been accepted yet, and I believe they’re waiting to see what’s going on with the felony case,” Fernandez told Rolling Stone<\/i> after the hearing. She declined to give details of the offer but added, \u201cIt’s an important case. We want to protect performers and people at large. “<\/p>\n

Lee was charged with misdemeanor battery, misdemeanor possession of a deadly weapon with intent to assault, and two violations for jumping on stage and attacking Chappelle during the comedian’s performance at the Netflix Is a Joke<\/em> festival at the Hollywood Bowl on May 3, 2022. If convicted as charged in the misdemeanor case only, he would face up to one and a half years in county jail and up to $ 4,000 in fines.<\/p>\n
